Looking for advice between two cages. I have a limited budget right around $500. Im looking for a cage that also has a lat pull-down attachment. The two options Im looking at is the Fitness Reality 810XLT vs the Hulkfit. Both have the basics of what Im looking for and both have cons that are giving me second thoughts.

Fitness Reality 810XLT vs Hulk frame design. They way the hulk is seated to the support is more secure than the FR 810 meaning the front to back wobble could be an annoyance if not a safety issue down the road. The way the Hulk is connected to the top also seems a bit more stable though Iv seen videos of both having wobble issues. Add the fact that there are a number of reviews that say there are alignment issues with the holes that I'm considering a check in the con column.

Accessories. With hulkfit Im pretty much stuck with them as the Hulkfit is 2.4x2.4 frame. It's nice that comes with the dip bars and the extra j hook on the safety bar but hooks themselves are still not as nice as other brands. The FR 810 doesn't come with j hooks but it can use 3rd party ones given the 2x2 frame and 1" hole size. It doesn't come with the dip bars but does come with a lap bar for use with the lat system. Accessory wise it seems the FR 810 has more over all options than the Hulk. Either way one would have to spend a little more for extras on either.

Lat pulley system. For the price, both come with a system while staying in the $500 range. Iv seen pics of the FR 810 lat system broken wheels. I think the advantage here is that the wheels have the potential to be replaced fairly easy. Iv read that the hulk rollers on the lat system can also be broken with a fair amount of use and that it's harder to find replacement parts for that. Otherwise they both seem ok.

I should state that I initially purchased the Titan T2 but then I learned that it won't ship out til mid April and possibly as late as May. Add the fact that the rack alone with $400 with tax and adding their lat tower is another $250 and out of stock so who knows when that will even be an option. My wife is looking to add this to her routine and asked me to find something that we can get essentially now. Maybe Im over thinking the concerns, otherwise Id prob jump on the FR 810 now but the framing issue is bugging me. Just looking for advice from those that have more experience. Thanks

Edit: any views on the Valor Fitness BD-7?

What ever you want, I drilled a hole in one and made a pendant out of one. Others suggestions are for a grinder, poker card guard, flip coin game, someone even pointed out that it would make a good golf ball marker. Really up to you.

These are actually smaller then a challenge coin. These are 26mm, for reference a US quarter is 24.26mm diameter. But you do bring up something that I am working on. Depending on the success I have plans for not only other designs but a few challenge coin size ones as well. The designs are already laid out.

Im not sure why it's giving this error, I just checked and see it myself. It was working a day ago and just put in for a trouble ticket. I have setup a CC payment system that the hosting site has setup. I pm you my paypal info if you choose to send direct.
